Trad Gangers - Thanks for the ride

Thanks to all you guys for the great info that is posted on this site, I have learned so much. I used to shoot and hunt with recurves, about 25 years ago I hung them up to hunt with muzzleloaders, when Washington State made us choose our weapons. This year I was drawn for a multi-weapon elk tag, when I went to get my bows I had stored at my relatives house we discovered his son stole them and pawned them all. In my search for my Savora recurve I found this site. One of the members bought a couple of my bows at the pawn shop and made a post about the Savora. I was able to contact him through the site, he graceously me sold back the bow he still had, but he donated the Savora to the site auction.When he found out I didn't have a bow suitable to hunt elk with he sold me his Bill Stewart longbow. I have learned so much at this site. I am shooting better than I ever have and last week I killed my first archery elk with the
Stewart longbow. I am again hooked on archery, I love shooting that longbow. Thanks again to a great bunch of guys.

Locked storage or someone else's house: There is usually a cost.

Sad tale. Sorry for the kid to be such a punk. Sorry for his parents.

You've found new ground and probably better bow. Today's bowyers are building bows that are quite advanced for sticks.

Congrats! It is a great site and the people here make it a great place to be. Enjoy!
